From my files concerning the Pakistani
AH-1Z. Before I post the refs I have I would kindly ask everyone's indulgence in...
1) The
AH-64E to export countries will be no different than tit is for
AH-1Z or
ABRAMS or any other advanced U.S. piece of equipment.
2) From last Sep., please review
Posts 63 & 64 of this thread. Those JANE's refs. are likely "
dead" now but, as posted many times before, JANE's refs are "
perishable" and you either act on them in a timely fashion or as I've been doing, build credible refs around them while active.
A) Also with ref. below note the delivery from Russian of the
Mi-35M which is the most advanced version of the
Mi-24 HIND. The
Mi-35M is in the game with Brazil and I believe I also submitted it for Russia as well since they got them around 3yrs. ago. Also addresses various equipment and weapons to be sold to them as well. The
TI/GSR levels addressed per Posts
63 & 64 with a minor
- in
EW as well as seen fit.
FOC I would think around APR or
JUN 2018. Though I have not checked, I believe the Pakistanis already fly the
Mi-24 so assuming they get their Mi-35M helos by
JAN 2018, I believe
FOC should occur around
APR/MAY 2018. The more advanced systems and weapons being the delaying factor here.

I have a couple more if needed.
Thanks for the diversion!
We have had the pleasure of
Irma's company here in what I believe was the hardest hit county in Ga. We feel so privileged.
At least we still have our house. Hope all affected in this forum and there are quite a few of you, made it through safely.
Regards,
Pat
